A lovely meal with friends. Arrived to find there was a power cut but luckily the lights came back on and we were not kept waiting. Was impressed that the dining room and staff seemed unaffected by the power cut and the meal went ahead as planned, and what a treat! We enjoyed our meal very much and we were...

We had two wonderful nights stay at Hotel Eilean Iarmain. We had one of their cottage rooms with a living room and bedroom upstairs. The views from the room are stunning.
when we were there it was -4 outside but in our room it was cosy and warm. We never got the chance to try the restaurant but we did...

Thank you so much for your review of our hotel.
We are delighted to hear you had such a nice time with us. The whole team work very hard to maintain high standards and make our guests feel welcome and a 'home from home'. Our hog roast has been particularly popular of late, (especially with a wintery warm mulled cider)...

We booked 2 nights at the Eilean Iarmain Hotel via an Itison internet deal. The hotel is easy to reach from either the Mallaig to Armadale ferry or from the Skye Bridge.
On arrival we were warmly greeted and shown to our studio which is located in a row of cottages across the road. The Room was warm and there...

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are glad your enjoyed the food our whisky. As you mentioned, and which we advertise, we do not have TVs in the vast majority of the bedrooms or the public bar - we feel that this detracts from the old world atmosphere...

Stayed for just one night travelling back home following a 'Hebridean Tour' of which the Eilean Iarmain was a definite highlight. The setting on the edge of the loch down a narrow is spectacular yet there was still much activity on the water, with local fishermen preparing their boats.
As a group of 7, we tried a number of rooms...

Thank you so much for your review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in one of our suites (at one time many moons ago horse stables). As you say, the uninterrupted views over to the Knoydart hills and beyond is quite something. We are glad you enjoyed the wee dram which was waiting for you; our...

We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay with you. The hotel is fabulous, the fires were so welcoming and warming,. We were upgraded to the stable block across the road from the main building. The view from the windows there was like a scene from the Scotsman Calendar! We couldn't have ordered a better view in the morning - magical!! We...

We are enjoying some snowy hilltop views at the moment and delighted to hear that you saw these during your stay - quite magical as you say! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your meal in the bar and also breakfast, we pride ourselves on our team,...

My second stay here - excellent again. The staff are really nice, the food is terrific (try the braised beef!) and the rooms are comfortable. The views are pretty good too! One small point - the hot water could've been hotter, but frankly that's overshadowed by all the other great stuff.

Thank you for your review. We are justly proud of our team including our wonderful team of chefs. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the beef. Some of our rooms are currently undergoing a refurbishment so will be even more comfortable for your next visit!
Thigibh air ais!

We stayed in one of the suites (couple and 13 yr old son) amazing views and an unequalled setting! Very comfy for us and our son said the pull down settee would have been great for him if the mattress had been a bit thicker😊
For us, the accommodation had everything - stunning views (we watched a sea otter swimming...

We are delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable time with us. I'm sorry to hear the sofabed wasn't as thick as you would have liked, we are currently undergoing a refurb with some of the rooms and this will be looked at.
We are glad you enjoyed our wee corner of Hebridean heaven,...

Beautifully located and blissfully quiet but if you are on a whistle stop tour of Skye, then Sleat is very remote from the other attractions.
We feel we should have been told when booking that our room was in an adjacent building. The room which others have described as "quaint", was like staying in an elderly relative's bedroom. I expected...

This traditional hotel, in an idyllic setting, with spectacular views across the sound of Sleat to the Knoydart Hills, retains it old-world charm giving each guest a truly genuine highland welcome from the moment you arrive. People have been coming here for over a hundred years, drawn by a love of Skye and its history, culture and language.
